Many people gathered here─Gloom, Mr. Lee, and an elderly man. The elderly man was wearing an ancient costume. He was smoking a cigar, filling the room with smoke. “Master…” Asher Lee greeted the elderly man respectfully. “What’s the situation outside?” the elderly man smoking the cigar asked. The elderly man was none other than Sky, master of Asher and one of the Elite Four who protected the King of a hundred years ago. “Many have arrived.” Asher continued, “Some of them snuck in. They all possess tremendous strength. They haven’t revealed themselves after arriving at the Mount Thunder Sect, and I believe they will not show themselves until the very last moment tomorrow.” “Who are these people?” Smoking his cigar, Sky’s expression remained composed. Asher replied, “We can’t be sure at the moment.” “By the way, is Mr. Lance here?” Sky asked. “I didn’t spot the Old King anywhere. He should already be here, concealing himself in the shadows,” Asher said. “I understan

Delainey nodded and said, “Please keep in mind that this is not a duel to the death. Once one party admits defeat, you’re not allowed to deal the killing blow. Based on previous rules, anyone can enter the arena. You’ll be the new Great Grandmaster if you’re able to defeat everyone else.” Then, she turned to leave. Though there were around ten thousand people there, no one uttered a single word. The atmosphere was tense. No one volunteered to enter the arena. “Hahaha! I’ll have the honor of becoming the first to enter the arena, then.” A voice came. Then, a middle-aged man leaped onto the arena. Boom! The arena shook. Martial artists who had weaker cultivation bases lost their footing and fell. It was Donovan Blithe. He was a sixth-rank martial artist and knew that he would not be able to become the Great Grandmaster with his strength. However, he was here to lead the charge as he knew that there were powerful figures within his family. Scanning the martial artists

However, the sword had disappeared without a trace. Thomas had only seen records of the Malevolent Sword in the ancient scrolls of the Cadens’ household. A thousand years ago, the Prince of Orchid Mountain had many powerful martial artists under his banner. Apart from the four major officials, he also had many loyal subordinates. Among them was a man by the name of Malevolent King who possessed terrifying power. The Malevolent Sword which he possessed was hailed as the most powerful weapon in the world. Simon explained, “To slay the Spirit Turtle, the Prince of Orchid Mountain brought many of his subordinates here. After the battle, almost everyone was wiped out. Among them was his subordinate, the Malevolent King, who owned this sword. When the prince returned, he gathered many craftsmen and constructed three doors to seal the Spirit Turtle inside the Snow Cavern. At the same time, he also left the Malevolent Sword behind.” Simon scanned his surroundings. From the information

James reminded him, “I think we should act as soon as possible. Think about it. If we only kill Callan after he massacres everyone here, what will we gain in return? If we strike now, we’ll be applauded by everyone. After becoming the Great Grandmaster, all martial artists will obey our every command. Aren’t we killing two birds with one stone?” James was trying to coax Lucjan into acting now. He wanted to exterminate Callan, the most powerful martial artist present at the conference. “You have a point.” Lucjan nodded slightly. James’ words made sense. However, he had to proceed with caution. If he made even a single mistake, all would be lost. He had to exterminate Callan with a single strike. Otherwise, the consequences would be dire. “In that case, we should do something now,” James said anxiously. He was worried that things would go out of control if they dragged on. Once Callan was eliminated, things would proceed much more smoothly. “Don’t worry, I’ll make the arrangeme

After walking for so long, they still could not find any trace of the Spirit Turtle. “How would I know?” Simon said. Although he knew of the secret here, he had never passed through the mechanisms to arrive here. “Let’s head deeper into the passageway.” Thomas could not believe that the Spirit Turtle was dead. Based on the information left behind by the Prince of Orchid, the Spirit Turtle had lived for many years. It was already three thousand years old even a millennium ago. Even if it suffered an injury, it would not die that easily. The two headed deeper into the Snow Cavern. Before long, they arrived at the deepest part of the passageway. There was a pool of water covered in a thin mist. Scanning his surroundings, Simon said, “There are no other paths.” Thomas nodded slightly and looked at the pool of water in front of him, “If the Spirit Turtle is still alive, it must have concealed itself beneath the pool.” After saying that, he waved, and catalyzed True Energy
